You should absolutely go. Switzerland is amazing. This picture is really well taken etc. but it doesn't exaggerate too much; Switzerland actually does look this awesome. I live 2 hours from this place and I go whenever I can.

There are ticks in Switzerland, and not too few. But they're rarely dangerous (I've had a whole bunch in my life and never any side effect except the loss of a few blood drops) and not that common in grass. Much more often you'll find them in forests, leading to the urban myth that they live in the treetops.

Ticks themselves aren't dangerous, it's the diseases they transmit that are dangerous: mainly lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis. Infection rates vary by region. In some parts of central Europe the percentage of ticks that are infected is very high (tens of percent).

Yes, I know. And I never got any infection from any of them. I know some guys who did but never anything serious happened, just some swollen skin (think mosquito bite) and a visit at the doctor to check it.

Beautiful, with chemtrails of sulfuric acid sprayed by fleets of planes and all. Educate yourselves, they even admitted it/are socializing people to the idea of it on the Colbert Report. Military whistleblowers have come forth, we have photographic evidence of clear chemtrail dispersal (obvious because clearly not commercial flight patterns, and contrails dissipate rapidly), weatherman talk about it casually on local news channels and most pilots will openly talk to you about it. It's to battle "global warming," by blanketing the stratosphere with harmful, cancer causing chemicals.

I live in a German speaking part, we do not mix the languages up. The German part learns French in School, the French part learns German and the Italian part either one of them IIRC. I realized in the army that we just communicate in English with each other.

Oh and like 7% of the population speaks Rätoromanisch, they know German too.

So, when some Swiss people want to talk to some other Swiss people, they probably use English. That's interesting. It's not surprising, but interesting. I would assume pretty much all Swiss know German though.

Man this is dihydrogen monoxide, the trails are created by airplanes. This stuff can mess you up. Just look at the mountains, they are saturated with it. It is eroding the rock and trees will not grow after a certain height.

Really cool shot, great colors and all, but when at 100% zoom, the sharpening effect makes sharp edges look painted rather than photographed. I suppose it's not a problem on a resolution like this, but any amateur photographers checking this pic out shouldn't think it's an appropriate amount of unsharp mask or whatever, in lower resolution pics.

Please post your own images here, but before you do, kindly read and adhere to the following rules:

Submissions must be:

A photograph

No Paintings, illustrations, gifs, videos, or interactive images.

A photograph you took (OC)

or one which you can provide the original source. Failure to provide the photographers name or the original source of the image can result in a ban.

A single image

Albums may be posted in the comments.
Panoramas, Image Stacks, Composites, and images edited via Photoshop or similar software are allowed.

An image featuring a natural landscape

Images with humans, machines, boats, roads, airplanes, farms, animals, buildings, or other man made objects in them will be removed.

An unsilhouetted image

Images where details in the landscape are not visible due to silhouetting will be removed.

Title Requirements:

You submission title must contain the following:

The location of the area in the photo

When it comes to location, the more specific the better. If you wish to not disclose the location you should at the very least name the state/country. Rule of thumb for naming only the location (e.g. a lake, mountain): if one can find the place immediately by searching it in google it's fine. For possibly ambiguous locations add state/country for safety.

The resolution of the image in pixel format

For example, an image taken on an iPhone 6 would have a resolution of [3264x2448]

The photographers name

If you took the photo use [OC]. OC submitters will be reward with different camera flairs based on number of OC submissions.

Do not include your device name in the title.

Feel free to add photography details such as camera, lens, and settings, as a comment.

Hate Speech, Abusive remarks, homophobia, and the like have no place on this subreddit, and will be removed on sight.

Please contribute to the discussion positively; if you don't like a picture and you wish to voice your opinion please refrain from abusing the photographer/submitter.
